So i stopped in at disney today, and I thought I'd share my pix with you all. As stated by istcrew, the tomorrowland globe is in fact up:

The stitch shields have been put back, and I grabbed a decent picture this time:

Also as mentioned by a few others, the main sign has been put up for SGE

As you can tell from the photos (EDIT: well not since i cropped them!), a storm was rolling in.. lucky me I got to ride the TTA rapids....

It was fun, we got stopped twice. I had never been stopped on the TTA before, to the backwards movement of 3 or 4 feet caught me by surprise. One of the stops also happened to be inside space mountain.. while the lights were on :).

Moving on, it was reported that the 20k wall has been expanded. Yup, its true:

No more peeking over the wall! :(

I took a quick run over to Epcot. The "news feed" at the top of SE now shows homes ripped up, destruction of roads, a tornado, and other similar items.

Here is the missing canopy at TT:

Something was going on with the tops of the JIYI pyramids. You can also see soarin to the left

Finally, here is a pic of soarin from canada

On the way out of epcot, I caught the fountain going to a song. It seemed REALLY lethargic. The big big fountains in the middle didn't work, and it seemed like barely any of the perimeter cannons that aim inwards were working correctly.

Wow... wonderful pictoral update! :sohappy:

Glad am I to see the return of the Tomorrowland entrance sign globe.
And yes, something odd (perhaps a standard washing?) is going on with the pinnacles of the Imagination! pyramids...
Also am I not too happy to hear about the lethargy associated with the Fountain of Nations. Let's hope it's a temporary problem, or one due to the weather, and that the problem is quickly remedied! :)

When asked months ago about the Imagination Pavilion, it has something to do with the window caulking/glazing (whatever) replacement that was happening earlier this year, like over Spring Break time.

Whats with the 'new' dome over the Tomorrowland entrance?

Whats wrong?...the old one too good enough? Oh, I get it!... cutting more costs!
The old one probably is too difficult to clean every 2 years (bird ________ really does a number on the plexi!) ...so lets make it less-bird-friendly.

:rolleyes: Won't anything stay the way it was?

GRIZZ! HELP!

(new campaign... Save the Tomorrowland Dome!)


(/rant)
Wait...what's the problem exactly? It doesn't look too different to me. :confused:

The old dome was just that...a large dome that enclosed the entire top, with the exception on the little 'light-spheres' on the four corners...
Remember the strobe light that reflected in the dome every few seconds?
(*tries to dig up old photo*)

I consider ye to be a weird one. Oh well.

I'll have you know that even the best of us can slip every now and then!

Pretty soon I'll start rambling stuff like:

I don't see whats wrong with JIYI!

or...

Let's get rid of CoP!


You may all 'Baker-Act' me if I post like this!...Just promise you'll all come visit every now and then!

wow. I really need to read these things before I hit 'enter'!

Still raining there at Disney? What? You guys have had about a week or so of rain or is this just a coincidence it is raining in these recent pics?

It is still summertime in central Florida, Ringo! Plan on afternoon showers when the built up heat interacts with the moist cooler air blowing inland from either the Atlantic or the Gulf. Rains can hit any summer day June through August, as I recall.

Thanks for the photos and the NEWS, TimeTrip!

Oh, I know MKCP. You and I are in the same neck of the woods. It just seems that lately everytime I look at the Epcot webcam, it is raining there. I am all ready to bring my poncho because I know those showers are going to pop up each evening in September. ;)
